The mutation spread rapidly like a plague. What they just saw, whether it was the container, the floor or the ceiling, became weird and even blasphemous.

The horrible pieces of meat, the wriggling fascia, the twitching blood vessels, the faint stench of death, and the negative energy that caused the scanner to continue to alarm, all of this made everyone's nerves stretched to the limit.

When they saw that the door of the engine room was still the same, that moment brought a considerable sense of relief, making them feel that as long as they got in, they could leave the mutation behind.

Lieutenant Dui, who was at the front, immediately shook at the door, and the automatic door opened, and everyone followed in.

Since this door has not mutated, it is very likely that the problem is only in the cargo hold, and maybe everything is normal in the engine room.

Everyone entered the door with this hope.

But hope is often the most valuable only when it is destroyed.

When everyone rushed into the engine room in a panic, suddenly, the lights disappeared instantly.

Not only did the lights in the ship go out, but even the lights on the protective suits seemed to be cut off, and could only illuminate the outline of each person.

All of them were like diving into the inky black sea water. There was nothing around them, only the most primitive deep darkness.

"Ahhhhhhh! Help, help! Save me!"

Someone screamed in the communication channel, but it was pitch black around them. Even the outline illuminated by the flashlight was very vague. There was no way to know who it was or what happened.

The next moment, the light was like lightning piercing the sky, bringing flickering light.

In the flashing of the light that seemed to explode, Alyssa saw two soldiers who seemed to be wrapped in something black. Alyssa couldn't even tell whether it was a monster or a simple shadow!

The shrill screams kept echoing in the communication channel, and the crazy flashing lights also overloaded the eyes. What was even more terrifying was that everyone seemed to be frozen, and no one reacted for a while.

Alyssa felt that she could hardly close her eyes. She trembled all over and bit her lower lip hard with almost all her strength.

The stinging pain and the taste of rust melted in her mouth, which also restored some control of her body. Although even a simple action like raising her hand seemed to be delayed, at least she could move.

"Don't stand there!"

Alyssa's voice was so loud that it even drowned out the screams of the soldiers for a moment. The speakers next to each person made a harsh sound, which made the eardrums sting.

This also brought everyone back to their senses.

At this time, the two soldiers wrapped in darkness were no longer moving, but for some reason, the screams in the communication channel did not disappear.

The darkness attached to them was squirming and twisting, and it seemed to be laughing wildly, mocking the stupidity of mortals.

Dui, who was closest to the soldiers, woke up as if from a dream. He hurriedly tried to rush over and grab the hand of one of the soldiers.

"It's hopeless, they are hopeless!"

Cao Wei tried to pull Dui, but her body seemed to be rusty and was half a beat slower.

Dui grabbed the soldier's hand and pulled it back hard.

However, he only pulled out one hand and about one-third of his chest cavity, with blood and flesh at the edges, as if melted by strong acid. The viscous liquid mixed with blood turned into a small sphere floating in the microgravity environment.

Dui felt a strong nausea rising from his stomach. The protective suit detected the precursor of vomiting, and the built-in medicine was automatically injected to suppress the nausea.

Because vomiting in protective clothing is likely to cause suffocation, all protective clothing has this function.

At this time, the dark mass disappeared again abruptly, as if it did not exist at all, but the remains left showed that there were two living people here.

"Go!"

Alyssa gave the final say to the ending of the two soldiers. She had to make a decision, otherwise the team would continue to stay in this dangerous place.

Under the effect of the drug, Dui resisted the desire to vomit, but it was obvious that he seemed much weaker and his steps were shaky.

Everyone carefully avoided the remains of the two soldiers, tried not to look at anything that might affect their nerves, and hurried on.

The thumping sound in the wall seemed to be getting closer and closer, but the screams of the two soldiers in the communication channel did not stop.

Even if some people turned off the speakers directly, the sound was still there, and the screams seemed to echo in everyone's heart.

Everyone's heart seemed to be pressed by a stone, and they were very uncomfortable. Many people had already experienced breathing problems, and the protective clothing automatically alarmed, prompting the wearer to reduce the breathing rate.

"They are catching up!"

Sophia shouted behind Alyssa, and Alyssa looked back. The abnormality that made the cabin terrifying was indeed catching up.

The engine room door that was normal just now became like a huge heart valve, opening and closing, gasping for air. The solid floor was instantly covered with a layer of blue blood vessels, and some pipelines looked like peristaltic intestines. If you stare at it, you will see painful and twisted human faces on the intestinal wall.

The two soldiers' stumps also swelled and bulged in an instant, like inflamed connective tissue, more like a large beating tumor, which made people's scalps numb.

Terror, the materialized terror is catching up from behind!

"Hurry up! Hurry up! This is not the time to save oxygen!"

The exhaust gas produced by breathing had been used up in the escape just now, and now the jetpack began to use the oxygen carried by each person.

The good news is that they carried double the oxygen, which, if everything went well, would be enough for them to keep going at full speed and return to the Manta.

But everything went well, which seemed to be a luxury.

When the mutation made the reactor left behind look like a huge beating heart, and the nearby cooling tower was like the lungs of some creature, a series of slender and cold shadows came from the front.

Dui, who was at the front, lowered his head because of physical discomfort and just let it pass, but the three or four soldiers next to him were not so lucky.

Almost in an instant, their heads were separated from their bodies, as if the shadow was some extremely sharp blade.

The next moment, blood spurted out of the chest cavity under the pumping of the heart, like a terrifying fountain, and blood drops even sprayed onto the ceiling.

The uncontrolled body was driven by the jetpack and bumped around everywhere. The headphones were full of the screams of the soldiers, and it was impossible to tell who was who.

Alyssa held Sanafia tightly with one hand. Her palm was cold and her teeth were trembling, but she knew that she couldn't stop, absolutely couldn't stop!

"There are also people behind! Lower your head!"

Sophia's reminder made the rest of the people quickly hold their heads down, and something extremely exaggerated seemed to flash from above.

Sophia should have dodged this, but she didn't know what happened to the others who were with her. Alyssa saw Sophia surpass her and ran to the front to pull up Dui and Cao Wei who were floating in the air and couldn't get up.

"Cheer up, we're here...!"

Before Sophia finished her words, Alyssa saw Dui and Cao Wei's faces twisted through the mask, their mouths opened wide, and spit out something black, like clay.

No, it's not liquid.

It's alive!

It's like tentacles, groping left and right in the mask, as if something is about to break out of their bodies!

If this is some kind of curse or virus or something worse, then the protective suit is no longer effective, and it is very likely that all of them have been infected.

A strong sense of despair surged into Alyssa's heart, and then she saw that the dense shadows were like a big net, covering her from the front.

Each shadow merged together, and in the end it was like a wall.

No one could react, and almost in an instant, all the survivors were swallowed up by the darkness.

Alyssa still held Sanafia's hand tightly, but she clearly felt that the weight on her hand seemed to have become lighter, as if she was not holding a person, but an arm.

Alyssa didn't want to consider this possibility, but it seemed that she had nothing else to do.

Under the light of the protective suit, Alyssa seemed to see that her hands were also melting, but she didn't feel any pain.

First the outermost protective suit, then the clothes and skin inside, her body seemed to be peeled off layer by layer, melted and dissipated, and only the white bones were left.

She wanted to find Sanafia, and she did touch a human-shaped thing, but it was not Sanafia, but Sophia who had melted halfway.

Or rather, it was more like a half-digested, half-rotten head, with flesh and sticky tissue fluid overflowing, and the eyeballs falling out.

The fear reached its peak at that moment. Alyssa once thought that she was not afraid of death, but it turned out that she had never experienced real terror.

Her consciousness began to blur, and her heart suddenly slowed down after accelerating to the extreme, as if she fell into an abyss or a bottomless deep sea.

Is this death?

Alyssa no longer had the strength to think about this question, until...

"What are you doing? Performance art?"

Li Chengxi's somewhat confused voice, like a sharp sword piercing through the darkness, successfully reached Alyssa's auditory nerves.
